Reflection severely broken for properties
-
Note: this entry has moved.
PropertyInfo.GetCustomAttributes never returns attributes inherited from the base class if the property is an override.
Even worse, if you ask for Attributes.IsDefined with the same values, you will get a true!! :S:S:S... Can't believe a release of .NET comes out without an automated test for those kinds of things...
You can see the bug, get a repro class, and vote for it on Product Feedback.

Google + eBay: that would be killer
-
Note: this entry has moved.
- eBay bought Skype (GTalk is not even close to Skype feature-wise)
- eBay owns PayPal (which is increasingly the internet payment method of choice, IMO)
- Froogle is OK, but lucks the market on eBay
- both have tons of money
Looks like the killer recipe for a world-changing (more than they have, already) company if they merge, or am I just dreaming? (not the first one to dream about it, for sure)
I'm not sure about Amazon... it has competing technologies with both eBay (lots of third-party stores sell through both) and Google (i.e. A9 search engine)... but they could all three join forces, yes... that would be so good but at the same time damn scaring!

Google to kill Exchange Server?
-
Note: this entry has moved.
There are a lot of mail servers out there. Most web UIs for them suck really bad. The only one that is usable is OWA, bundled with Exchange.
But Gmail is different. Even being a web app, it's way more responsive than Outlook itself, IMO. Everything works fast and as expected, and I can even add cool extensions to it like search folders and a delete button ;).
Now, when will they offer a mail server with their cool WebMail GUI for sell?? I know for sure that I will certainly be interested in buying such a product for my own company... (of course, it would be great if it's extensible so that even if they do not provide built-in support for things like Outlook appointments, tasks assignments and the like, some other company can develop it)

Search with Google Desktop from within Outlook!!!
-
Note: this entry has moved.
I may be a little late, but I've just downloaded the latest version of Google Desktop and it's *amazing*. I love the sidebar (although I don't like the all-COM-API for developers of panels :( ), but my favorite is being able to search using GDS from within Outlook :D (although the UI is very simple and there are a lot of features that I'd like to see in the future).
Definitely, Google is getting closer and closer to killing the application I hate the most in my life with computers, that fat dog that eats 120+Mb RAM and freezes my computer every now and then, and sometimes eats 100% of my CPU....
